One thing about the successful Ukrainian mission

Ukraine kept Trump in the dark. But they did not keep our closest European allies in the dark. There is no doubt at least the UK, France and Germany knew. That means it wasn’t just Ukraine keeping this information from the US. And none of our best assets in those countries were able to or would not inform the US.

Let Krasnov and Whiskey Pete explain to Putin why they didn't give him a heads up.

Think about it if that narrative was pushed, would Krasnov publicly deny it?

Saying that the US wasn't given a heads up leaves Krasnov off the hook.
